If you buy a new AC roof unit, exactly how would you get it up there?

Please, no "get it up" jokes...

The top units weigh about 90 lbs. An overhead hoist is ideal of course. OK, no jokes about ED or BPH

I have replaced 2 ways:

With my pickup parked close alongside and TWO people, we lifted from the truck bed and side rail, just slid it onto the roof.

I did one other with a ladder leaning from truck bed to coach roof, dragged AC up the ladder myself with a come-a-long.

This thread shows everything but the lifting, sorry.

Good Afternoon,

I also have used a ladder to transfer a new AC unit to the roof of our coach. We started by placing the ladder on the ground on one end, and the other end tied in place just under the roof rack tubing, . I picked up a heavy duty cardboard packing box from a large HD TV, from the local appliance store dumpster. I unfolded the box, and cut two 24" wide strips from it. I used packing tape to connect the two pieces together, and to hold the strips to the top of the ladder. We used my two wheel cart to bring the new AC back to where we have our coach parked. We slid the new AC, still in the shipping container, from the cart to the bottom of the cardboard covered ladder. We attached a rope to the front of the shipping container, and pulled the new unit up to the roof with ease. The cardboard makes a smooth surface for the shipping container to slide on. We put the old AC unit back into the same container, and slid it back down the ladder. My son watched from the ground, to insure that the box did not slide off from the side of the ladder.

My suggestion is to find a business that has a forklift that will allow you to drive you coach to and swap units. You could have the old unit removed and strap to luggage rails and swap units. Reinstall the new unit at your own location. May be you could coordinate this with the supplier of the new unit.
